As part of its broader push on hosting virtual events, which has become a bigger focus over the past 18 months, LinkedIn will soon begin testing paid events, which could provide new opportunities for engagement and monetization on the professional social network. The new element was first reported by TechCrunch, which had been sent a tip on new code in the back-end of the LinkedIn app which indicated an inactive, paid events element. LinkedIn has since confirmed the test, explaining to TechCrunch that: “Amid the changing world of work and transition to a nearly all-remote workforce, LinkedIn Events has seen a surge in growth, with 21 million people attending an Event on LinkedIn in 2020. We continue to learn from member and customer feedback and test new ways to improve the experience. As part of this, we are exploring options for payment in the Events product based on feedback from event organizers.” That could be a big boon for industry event organizers, many of whom have lost huge amounts due to COVID restrictions forcing the cancellations of their regular programming. According to research, the trade show industry in the US was worth some $15.58 billion in 2019, before dropping to…

Scammers are using phony job ads to steal an estimated $7 billion from US taxpayers in fraudulent unemployment benefits — including $800 million in New York State alone, according to a new security study.  The scam works by duping would-be job seekers into applying for work, then stealing the crucial personal information they share and applying for unemployment in their names, according to data and analytics company LexisNexis Risk Solutions, which says cybercriminals have posted 18,000 fake job listings. Popular job sites like LinkedIn or Indeed are common breeding grounds for the scheme, according to the summer study, Haywood Talcove, CEO of LexisNexis Risk Solutions, Government Group, told The Post. “What always spikes fraud in government is a disaster, if you look at hurricanes, earthquakes or fires,” said Talcove. “Frauds come out the woodwork during a disaster to take advantage of cash payments that the federal government makes.” The scam tricks would-be job seekers into applying for work, then stealing crucial personal information.Getty Images The schemes can be so sophisticated, victims handing over their Social Security numbers or driver’s licenses may actually think they’re about to be hired somewhere. “I went through an interview.
